Umpiring
Each team will have a weekly umpiring to fulfill.
Every junior player is asked to pay $1 per week to go towards umpiring. This covers the cost of the thank you gifts for the umpires at the end of the season. Every team must supply an umpire every week.
Names of umpires must be given to Di Rainbow 2 weeks prior to the start of competition. Anyone who wishes to umpire or wishes to learn how to umpire please speak to your coach so they can forward your names onto Sandy. Seniors automatically are allocated paid umpiring at a cost of $375 per team. This money is due by round 5.
Information from WWPNA
Nominated umpires are to report to the tower five (5) minutes prior to the start of the game to sign on. Failure to fulfill umpiring duties results in a $50 fine, which must be paid before the team takes the court for their next game. There is no loss of points. Failure to umpire three (3) times in a competition, by a team, results in a withdrawal of that team. Umpires must wear playing uniforms or whites with appropriate footwear, ie rubber soled shoes (not thongs or sandals) for health reasons, please supply your own whistle.
